The Eight Voice Novation Polysynth with Three New Oxford Oscillators

The Best of Both WorldsThe Novation Peak is an eight-voice polyphonic hybrid analogue/digital synthesizer featuring three of the New Oxford Oscillators for each voice. By being high-quality NCO's (Numerically Controlled Oscillators) the oscillators sound completely analogue but gain the flexibility of the digital realm with 17 digital wavetables. They are able to cross-modulate in a recursive loop allowing them to be a linear FM source.

Analogue Where It Matters

Digital Where It CountsPeak has a resonant multi-mode analogue filter for each voice and three distortion points for each voice in an analogue signal chain - pre-filter, post-filter and global. It is also capable of receiving polyphonic after-touch giving you even more options for expression. The FX section includes reverb, delay and a chorus along with an on-board arpeggiator.

Create New Sounds from Scratch

Refine Them to PerfectionNovation have also added a 16-slot modulation matrix with 16 direct assignments in the main controls, intuitively arranged for patch design and sound editing. We have three ADSR envelopes and two LFOs for each voice and two animate buttons to give live performers one-touch transformation of patches.

Connect to Almost Anything

Vintage?…Modular?…Game On!Peak can also connect to modular gear via CV input and has MIDI I/O for standard 5-Pin DIN MIDI connections. It can also be connected to your Mac or PC where you can store and edit unlimited patches.

Cross-modulate oscillatorsThe three New Oxford Oscillators for each voice can become a linear FM source using either the analogue-sounding NCOs (Numerically-Controlled Oscillators) or digital wavetables. They are also able to cross-modulate in a recursive loop.
